The DIY Beauty Remedy To Try While Self-Isolating, Based On Your Sun Sign

As we are all stuck self-isolating at home without most beauty supplies or access to the salon, most of us have to come up with new ways to do our beauty rituals. So, we have a list of beauty treatments you can try at home, based on your sun sign.

Aries: This almond and malai scrub

Aggressive Aries loves a thorough scrubbing treatment. For this, you need to soak almonds, dry them, and then grind them into a coarse powder. Add some cream or malai from your milk, and use this as a moisturising scrub which isn’t abrasive.

Taurus: A honey face mask

Simple does the trick for Taurus, so this mask is ideal for them. You just need to apply honey on a cleansed face, and leave it on for a bit. The humectants in honey wil hydrate skin, and its healing properties reduce inflammation.

Gemini: This tomato juice and orange juice skin toner

For Gemini, beauty is as much about perking up their mood as it is about helping their skin. This juicy, citrusy blend is great for that. All you have to do is juice tomatoes and oranges, and then put it through a sieve. Soak a cotton pad in the mix, and apply it onto your cleansed face. This will help even out the complexion.

Cancer: This homemade perfume

Cancer loves a nice fragrance, and guess what? It’s not that hard to make. You just need to add whichever fragranced essential oil you have-- lavender, rose, lemongrass, or vanilla-- into vodka, distilled water (yes, you need to hit the chemist), and a carrier oil like almond oil. Store it in a dark bottle and dab it on when needed. The ratio of blending should be 1 tablespoon oil, 2 tablespoons vodka, 30 drops of essential oil, and 1 tablespoon distilled water.

Leo: An olive oil and egg hair mask

Leo is all about that leonine mane, so hair care is their jam. This olive oil and egg mask nourishes hair and makes it shiny and thick. You need to mix olive oil and egg in a bowl, and coat the hair with this mask. Yes, it is smelly, but who cares if it gives you movie-star tresses?

Virgo: This aloe and cucumber face smoothie mask

Nervous and anxious Virgo needs something to calm their skin, and there’s nothing better than Aloe juice to do the trick. Not only is it hydrating, but it is refreshing and cooling, giving this perpetually-tired sign’s skin some relief. You need to slice an aloe leaf, scoop out the gel into the bowl to start. Wash that in water to separate the green, sappy part. Put this in the blender, and then add washed but unpeeled cucumber slices in. Blend it into a paste, and apply it like a mask on a clean face.

Libra: This cinnamon sugar lip scrub

Libra is famous for having pouty lips, so it makes sense for them to prep that pucker with a smoothing lip scrub. To make it, mix cinnamon powder, ghee, sugar, and honey. Then, massage the lips with this gently for a few minutes at least. Your lips will be smooth, flake-free, and moisturised!

Scorpio: A potato juice and cucumber under-eye mask

Night owl Scorpio has even more reason to stay up late nowadays, so their peepers (and under-eyes) need a lot of TLC. Potato juice and cucumber help reduce dark circles, so this mask is it. You need to grate washed and peeled potatoes, and macerate it over a sieve to extract the juice. The same goes for cucumbers, except you don’t have to peel them. Mix the two juices. Then, refrigerate the liquid. Soak cotton pads in the juice and place it over your under eyes and see how bright your under-eyes look!

Sagittarius: A coconut oil and coffee body scrub

Outdoorsy Sagittarius is all about silky arms and legs, so this remedy is ideal for their summer-loving, beach-dreaming selves. You need to mix coconut oil with coffee grounds and granulated sugar. Then, after a bath, massage this on your body in circular motions. It not only helps relax muscles after a workout but also moisturises and smoothens the skin.

Capricorn: A strawberry and baking soda tooth scrub

Did you know that Capricorn rules the teeth and bones, meaning they can often have tooth issues, as well? During this lockdown, it’s time to enhance those pearly whites with this recipe. You need strawberries because their seeds are great for exfoliating teeth, and baking soda, because it whitens teeth. Cut a strawberry, dip it in baking soda, and massage it over your teeth!

Aquarius: This onion juice and coconut oil scalp tonic

Aquarius is always experimenting with hair or taking care of it, so they need all the DIY haircare remedies they can get. Plus, since they have no aversion to trying outrageous things, this stinky remedy is something that won’t scare them. Mix onion juice and coconut oil and apply it on the scalp with a cotton ball. It goes a long way in improving hair growth.

Pisces: A banana and vanilla foot mask

Each zodiac sign rules a body part, and Pisces rules the feet. So, this mask is ideal for their delicate feet. Mash a banana, throw in a little malai, and add some vanilla essential oil to the mix. Whisk this till it’s thick and creamy. Apply it on clean feet like a moisturising foot mask, and massage it in. Then, cover feet with cling film to retain moisture. Unwrap after 20-30 minutes, and rinse feet with water.
